GRAHAM SWELLS Few of our citizens realize the magnitude and importance of this little enterprise run by W. C. Corbett over by Crystal cemetery. Did yoi know that during the entire summer ten men have been steadily employed nd will continue their labors un til driven out of the mud by the Oregon mist? During the summer 315,000 brick have teen burned with or ders still on hand for over 400,000 more. v Also one kiln of tile ot 40,000 has been burned and this branch or the business has been neglected on account of the scar-1 citv of labor. Notwithstanding the fact that our good brotber . has hustled early and late he ha been unable to supply the demand and fully as many brick as were burned by him bad to be shipped in dur ing the early spring. Our mechaaics were delayed on account of shortage, and car after car came in, thus sending money away that should have been distributed among our labor- -H ing men ana mecnamcs. . we uuu no jaun wuu Corbett, as he has labored under many difficulties, but we sincere ly hope he may see his way clear, with favorable weather conditions, to have an ample supply on hand to supply the early spring trade, for we must admit we are a little selfish and like to keep our money around home where we can look at it. The good old yellow stuff always did look mighty good to us. We believe in the principle of keeping ud with vour work and trom the present prospects the coming summer will keep pace in the wav of building with the prosperous season lust closing. So have vour brick ready, the hammer and saw where you can reach them, level up all out standinp- accounts and start out full ot business in the early spring, the water, is dotted over with boats of all sizes .both for pleas ure arid dratt purposes. Think also of the pleasure to be derived by the lovesick swain as he sets by the side of some fair maiden of sweet sixteen, and sails over the sparkling water with the rays of the moon sheda'ing forth her effulgent ravs of the light to add new glory to the seethe. That it would be a paying 'investment properly built and managed there can be no question, and we sin cerely hope they may see their way clear to make the invest Everybody Hopping Around Hop Yards.

You Take No Chances When You Buy Groceries At This Store All our goods are guaranteed to comply with the Pure Food Law We have the best and nothing but the best. We , Want Your Business Modes Grocery For Business Advertise We are pleased to learn that some of our local business men are seriouslv considering the idea of building a new boat tor local freight and passenger boat service on the Willamette river. The hoat as planned will be 40 feet long 16 foot beam, with sufficient power for all necessary purposes. They will also build a barge or scow for hauling wood, wheat, potatoes and all other cotnmdities raised by tbe tanning communi ty along tbe river. Corvallis has lone- felt the need of a service of this kind as innumerable quanti ties of farm products must be housed along the river awaiting the rainv season for the boats, and in the present stagnation ot transportation facilities and Ques tion in prices, the farmer is seriously handicapped. During the past win'er pota toes were stored all along the river to await the pleasure of the boatmen. and had there not been a shortage in the yield, considerable money would have been lost to tbe producer. 'For some two months during the past winter the Steamer Pomona spent its entire time in sucn trans portattons to Corvallis as migni be utl.zed by a local boat, cora wood in abundance could be secured from this source to sup ply the scarcity now felt by ou' people,' as it makes a man scratch his head and wonder what he ha? done with his summer wages when he comes to dig down in his pocket and hand out a five dollar gold piece to pay for cord of wool. We know of one shipment of 700 cords that could now be placed on the martt through this source at a profit but with teams commanding $4 per day it cannot be hauled wit- a profit and hence left standing in" the tim' er. All along the ocean beach the As the season approaches every thing around the hop-yard as sumes an air ot activity and in terest, for the man who invests n this critical business realizes that should he neglect any branch of his work at this time it will cut quite a figure with his bank account. , . We speak of it as critical be cause of the short space of time in which to reap the harvest, if at all. He battles with the lice, the rain, the heat, the picker, the men who bale, and lastly with the dealer, and in the event of trou ble with any or either of them, all the money invested in plow ing, training, trimming, etc. may be a complete or partial loss If a loss - it mav pile up like a mountain before him and take vearrf of toil to recuperate. If a gain he may, 11 he likes, wear a stand-up collar or a plug hat. It takes a, man ot nerve to be a successful hop grower, and hence we would call the attention of our citizens, who feel like picking, to lend a helping hand to our oww people who have had the nerve to enter this line of business in stead of going away from home and leaving them short ot help. Did yon ever think along the line that the more money we have among our citizens, iu our banks, and in fact among all classes of our people, the greater the possibility of your getting it? Mark a piece of money, put it in circulation by paying your honest debts, and see how many times it will return to you duriDg the year. Send the same piece of money out of the country for the purchase of goods that should have been'bought of your home merchants and we predict it will never come back to tickle your pocket book again or make your heart glad in the happy possession of it. Our hop men feel grod at the prospects now. and let' us help Newport Wavelets. Mack Porter went to Newport, last of tbe week, for a pleasure visit. - Bert Pilkington and wife were Newport visitors the last f the week. They were rigistered at the Bay View. Misses Sylva and Mamie Starr are registered at the .Newport House, Newport. They are taking on a seaside complexion. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Ryder were passengers for Newport Tuesday. They will camp for two weeks at Nye Creek with U. W. iiecfc with and family. Walter Taylor and family re turned to their home at Corvallis last week from a week's visit at Newport. Rutus Skipton returned home yesterday from a week at the coast. His family remains tor a longer visit. "' , ' Willard Ireland went out from the bay last week to look alter his hop crop. He comes back Sunday to join tbe other mem bers of the family who are camp ed at Newport. Over at Newport clouds and rain have been the order the past week. In spite of this, however, surf bathing is enjoyed each day bv those who are not afraid of freezing. Newport is certainly enjoying a splendid season, as camping them to continue to do so. for the prospect of a crop is good, the conditions in and about the yards are good, and the price of hops good, hence the pickers should be good, and with all ot our pockets full of money and our consciences 'clear, we should all feel good. a 1 A. - sites are almost impossiDie 10 secure. Tents are as close to gether as they can be placed con veniently, and a location up on a hill, in the midst of fern, salal bush and fir trees rents for a dot lar a week. It cost a dollar to eet vour goods hauled to or from the dock, a few armfuls of wet wood come at the same figure, and a couple of Corvallisites who stooped at a certain hotel one nieht last week paid $3 for sup per, breakfast, and a bed that nearby gave them spinal curva ture. Other expenses are reason able, store goods being the same as in the valley. jsaimon is a luxury that comes much cheaper at Newport than in Corvallis, while oysters and clams whet tne appetite of the visitor, it is esti mnteri that cooo people are ai - - J t - Newport now, and while many are homeward bound, each in comine train brings its load, and eveiv incoming boat is greeted bv an immense crowd, the band furnishing music at the dock each evening. . ' If ever there is a railroad built to Newport, thus overcoming the annoying delays and other incon viences incident to bay ward trav eling Newport will experience a growth that will easily mate it the leading summer resort of the Pacific coast accessible from this section ot countrv. pupil. t The-Taw requires the dis-r net clerk to furnish the tea;!;. r t the beginning of theterm, wiiht a list of alllpupils," with tbeir age- between 9 and r4 years. The teacher,with this information, is required by law to report forth with to the county school super- ntendent all children of the req- nisite age who are not attending; school. In case of sickness the parent must furnish the teacher with a written statement, signed by a qualified physician, that the child is sick and unable to attend. No excuse from the parent cover ing this ground will be sufficient. All cases not complying with the law' are reported to the county school superintendent whosturns over the information to the truant officer. After such investigation and the facts are as reported he notifies the parent or guardian to have the child in school within 24 hours. On failure to comply with his request the law requires the prosecuting attorney to pros ecute the party immediately. Upon conviction thereof the par ent or guardian is liable to a fine of not less "than $5.00 nor more than 25.00 or be inprisoned uot less than two or more than ten days. From 200 to 300 children in the county do not attend school which means a loss to the county ot from $1600 to 1800 per year not considering the thought of raisiiagc the child in ignorance. A note of warning might not be out of place to parents who have neg lected their duty as the law will . be strictly enforced in this county. GOES OVER SURVEY. Southern Pacific to Retrace Cen tral Oregon Route. A Qood Trade. New Compulsory School Law. Every boy, no matter how rich or how po-r hia ancestry, should learn thorough ly tome good trade, bo that it hia circum stances become reversed at Bay time he could immediately do service at bis trade and start again on a soccessfal road to prosperity. Tbe printing trade is not only artistic when completely learned, hat it is also highly educational in every partk-nlar. and one of the best trades that anyone can learn, as opportunity fOf labor is ever ready each working day tn the year. - , There is one of the best opportunities in a'l tbe land for a yoong man of steady habits, jjoxl principles, wU educated' having a will o nor and ozcel, to learn hb printing tra I- in tbe Gaette office Proper exp anatioa will b given oa ap. plica tio . . 67ti Ed Kir, writ o mer v lived in this county, In. wh r the past five years has been a ret-ir'ent ot Grant count?, has sold hia interests there and passed through (own, Pamday, on his way to the Alsea country. He expects to locate in Benton county. ' Oregon now has a new compul sory school law on the education of children which is the work of Supt. Hon. T. H. Ackerman and it is pronounced the strongest and 1 . . 1 TT 1 most rigia law in tne u niiea Sta tes en the subject. There is no state in the union with a law which meets every condition like the one now en our statute books. Oregon is to be congratulated for taking the lead in this work, for the place tor boys ai.d girls is in the school room, and not oa the streets. It has been no unusual sight, in years gone by, to see boys and girls; loitering around town doing nothing, the parent presuming them in school. This indolence leads to vice, crime and immorality. Hereafter every boy and girl between 9 and 14 years must be in the school room. The new law provides for a county truant officer and the county court at its last session, apppointed ex chief police W. G. Lane, of Cor vallis. Mr. Lane's experience will serve him to good advantage in handling both parent and Surveyors have taken the field to retrace the Corvallis and East ern survey across Eastern Oregon trom Detroit to Ontario. A crew of 15 men, equipped for several months, left Portland this wee, to accomplish this work. This may mean that the iiar riman interests, which now own the Corvallis & Eastern, will ex tend that road across the- state . instead of building on the Ore gon Eastern survey, which was completed last winter. It is said the grades to be obtained on the Oregon Eastern survey are not so advantageous as those of the Cor vollis & Eastern survey. It is to determine the relative merits of the two routes that the party has been sent out to remark the -old survey. The Corvallis & Eastern sur vey was originally made 10 or 15. vears ago and many changes in the line then made are necessary now, for the science cf lailroad construction has taken many for ward steps in that time. Curves and grades thought entirely feasi- -ble in those days for the compar atively light equipment then iw use would be tabooed altogether by modern engineers, who are in tent on hauling the big loads with a minimum of motive. p iwer. The survey to be retraced1 un doubtedly offers the shortest" direct route across Oregon, for at is practically a straight line across the state to Ontario, while the Oregon Eastern route from Norton to Vale follows a some what roundabout course and traverses country which is less desirable than that further north. If the C. & E. survey is followed, the line will afford easy access to irrigation districts- of Eastern Oregon and will also offer an outlet to the proposed O. R. & N. road up to the Deschutes from its mouth. Telegram. LETTER LIST.
